I agree the FB fighter rules are pretty cannonical IMO.

I would just let PDS fire at any fighters in 6MU range
and not require the ship to have an ADFC or the fighters to
be attacking the ship, it can over-watch for any passing fighters
and zap them as they pass. They don't need an FC for this as 
PDS is clearly stated as having an integral FC anyway.

I agree allowing PDS to target any hostile fighter in range would be
a good house rule.
